She believes that God has embedded all the tools needed to be successful throughout your journey.

Latisha always had a love for God and strong sense of patriotism.  Although she loved her parents, she always knew that God created more than what was around her. She was drawn to helping people, she had an inner desire to see more, do more, experience more but didn’t want to disappoint her parents or her heavenly Father. To everyone’s surprise, she enlisted in the Mississippi Army National Guard and soon after transferred into the United States Active Army. Her strong connection with God and her desire to help and defend others drew her into supporting the Chaplaincy and later she was chosen to be a Career Advisor where she was considered the subject matter expert in Retention and Attrition Management. The highs and lows of her military career shaped her while she held on to the moral fabric her parents instilled in her.  She realized she was stronger than she thought and she was not alone. She gained a family and additional skills that, little did she know, would be instrumental to her survival. 

Latisha comes to the point in her journey where she transitions from extraordinary military leader to successful business woman. She had prepared and mentored all her Soldiers for transitioning from the military as the premier subject matter expert and she was ready.  Although she was successful, it would be one of the most difficult transitions of her life. She was reentering a world that she no longer knew and the days  months and years to come would be full of extraordinary challenges.  Leaving the military behind had her feeling as she was mourning the death of a marriage.
